Merry Evasion
Episode 512
[In the kitchen of a house, a woman is cutting beans into little pieces. She’s talking to her dog]
WOMAN: These rock. Seriously. Better than last week's. Want to taste one?
[She throws a bean – the dog sniffs it and whines]
WOMAN: No? Really? Okay. Fine. Suit yourself. You know, there's a whole world out there, other than kibble, that you're just never gonna taste. You have to live with that, not me.
[The dog starts growling. He gets up, growls again and heads toward the door]
WOMAN: Aw, big, bad Bubba got his feelings hurt?
[Bubba barks]
WOMAN: What's the matter, tough guy, you can't find your binkie?
[Bubba is still barking; she decides to go checking]
WOMAN: Bubba? Bubba?
[The dog doesn’t stop]
WOMAN: Bubba...What are you doing there?
[He’s barking and jumping at the door – but outside…]
WOMAN: How did you open the door?

Encyclopædia Britannica
Adrien-Marie Legendre
Adrien-Marie Legendre, (born September 18, 1752, Paris, France—died January 10, 1833, Paris), French mathematician whose distinguished work on elliptic integrals provided basic analytic tools for mathematical physics.
Little is known about Legendre’s early life except that his family wealth allowed him to study physics and mathematics, beginning in 1770, at the Collège Mazarin (Collège des Quatre-Nations) in Paris and that, at least until the French Revolution, he did not have to work. Nevertheless, Legendre taught mathematics at the École Militaire in Paris from 1775 to 1780. In 1782 he won a prize offered by the Berlin Academy of Sciences for his effort to “determine the curve described by cannonballs and bombs, taking into consideration the resistance of air[, and] give rules for obtaining the ranges corresponding to different initial velocities and to different angles of projection.” The next year he presented research on celestial mechanics to the French Academy of Sciences, and he was soon rewarded with membership. In 1787 he joined the French team, led by Jacques-Dominique Cassini and Pierre Mechain, in the geodetic measurements jointly conducted with the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London. At this time he also became a member of the British Royal Society. In 1791 he was named along with Cassini and Mechain to a special committee to develop the metric system and, in particular, to conduct the necessary measurements to determine the standard metre. He also worked on projects to produce logarithmic and trigonometric tables.
The Academy of Sciences was forced to close in 1793 during the French Revolution, and Legendre lost his family wealth during the upheaval. Nevertheless, he married at this time. The following year he published Éléments de géométrie (Elements of Geometry), a reorganization and simplification of the propositions from Euclid’s Elements that was widely adopted in Europe, even though it is full of fallacious attempts to defend the parallel postulate. Legendre also gave a simple proof that p is irrational, as well as the first proof that p2 is irrational, and he conjectured that p is not the root of any algebraic equation of finite degree with rational coefficients (i.e., p is a transcendental number). His Éléments was even more pedagogically influential in the United States, undergoing numerous translations starting in 1819; one such translation went through some 33 editions. The French Academy of Sciences was reopened in 1795 as the Institut Nationale des Sciences et des Arts, and Legendre was installed in the mathematics section. When Napoleon reorganized the institute in 1803, Legendre was retained in the new geometry section. In 1824 he refused to endorse the government’s candidate for the Institut and lost his pension from the École Militaire, where he had served from 1799 to 1815 as the mathematics examiner for graduating artillery students.
Legendre’s Nouvelles méthodes pour la détermination des orbites des comètes (1806; “New Methods for the Determination of Comet Orbits”) contains the first comprehensive treatment of the method of least squares, although priority for its discovery is shared with his German rival Carl Friedrich Gauss.
In 1786 Legendre took up research on elliptic integrals. In his most important work, Traité des fonctions elliptiques (1825–37; “Treatise on Elliptic Functions”), he reduced elliptic integrals to three standard forms now known by his name. He also compiled tables of the values of his elliptic integrals and showed how they can be used to solve important problems in mechanics and dynamics. Shortly after his work appeared, the independent discoveries of Niels Henrik Abel and Carl Jacobi completely revolutionized the subject of elliptic integrals.
Legendre published his own researches in number theory and those of his predecessors in a systematic form under the title Théorie des nombres, 2 vol. (1830). This work included his flawed proof of the law of quadratic reciprocity. The law was regarded by Gauss, the greatest mathematician of the day, as the most important general result in number theory since the work of Pierre de Fermat in the 17th century. Gauss also gave the first rigorous proof of the law.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
History of the University of South Carolina
Founded in 1801, then-South Carolina College flourished pre-Civil War, overcame post-war struggles, was rechartered in 1906 as a university, and transformed itself as a national institution in the 20th and 21st centuries.
South Carolina College, est. 1801
The Palmetto State established South Carolina College—the precursor to the University of South Carolina—on Dec. 19, 1801, as part of an effort to unite South Carolinians in the wake of the American Revolution. South Carolina's leaders saw the new college as a way to promote "the good order and harmony" of the state.
The founding of South Carolina College was also a part of the Southern public college movement spurred by Thomas Jefferson. Within 20 years of one another, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia established state-supported colleges.
In the antebellum era, the Palmetto State generously supported South Carolina College. The institution featured a cosmopolitan faculty, including such noted European scholars as Francis Lieber and Thomas Cooper, as well as renowned American scholars John and Joseph LeConte. Offering a traditional classical curriculum, South Carolina College became one of the most influential colleges in the South before 1861, earning a reputation as the training ground for South Carolina's antebellum elite.

Quotes
Decker: I tell you, I can't see him.
Wilson: Why not?
Decker: Because he'll know me for what I am.
Wilson: Well what are you?!
Decker: I'm a coward! I'm a coward! I've always been a coward. All my life I've been running away pretending to be something I never was, never could be. That's why I'm here, because I was trying to run away. Because I wanted so desperately to escape that I did escape. I got by with my pretending well enough. My kind of strained idiocy was exactly the brand we all put on. Playing the part, you know, boys on a lark, laughing, joking, drinking. Oh, it's too much, all of it. Then turning into deadly, ice-cold killers in the sky. Although not me,, you of course. No, not me. Up there, I'm just as afraid as I am on the ground. And Mac and I are supposed to go on patrols together, but I can usually manage to persuade him into splitting up. You know, I think he actually hopes he'll run into some trouble. Me, well I just linger in the clouds, flying back and forth, dreading the possibility that I might see an enemy plane. Just hoping for enough time to pass so that I can go back. You know, sometimes I think I'll land behind the German lines and I'll let myself be captured. The pilots always get the best of treatment, you know. But I'm afraid of doing that even. I'm afraid that I'd be discovered and discredited. I couldn't bear that. I have to carry on the self-delusion, you know. You know, I've actually fired bullets through the cockpit walls so that the chaps will see them and be impressed. God help me.

SHELBY: We'll go back. I need more people. We need to retune the phasers again. We'll get him out of there.
LAFORGE: Commander, reading subspace field fluctuations from within the Borg ship. Looks like they're regenerating, restoring power. They could be capable of warp any minute.
RIKER: Is the deflector ready?
LAFORGE: It's ready.
CRUSHER: Will, he's alive. If we could get him back to the ship, I might be able to restore
RIKER: This is our only chance to destroy them. If they get back into warp, our weapon is useless.
SHELBY: We'll sabotage them again if we have to.
RIKER: We can't maintain power. We don't have the time. Prepare to fire.
SHELBY: At least consult with Starfleet Command. Get Admiral Hanson on subspace.
RIKER: Belay that order, Lieutenant. There's no time.

PICARD: Let him go. He's not the one you want.
BORG QUEEN: Are you offering yourself to us?
PICARD: Offering myself? ...That's it. I remember now. It wasn't enough that you assimilate me. I had to give myself freely to the Borg, ...to you.
BORG QUEEN: You flatter yourself. I've overseen the assimilation of countless millions. You were no different.
PICARD: You're lying. You wanted more than just another Borg drone. You wanted a human being with a mind of his own, who could bridge the gulf between humanity and the Borg. You wanted a counterpart, but I resisted. I fought you.
BORG QUEEN: You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself.

THE EARLY YEARS
Background
Roger Marechal began working for ISO in 1949, and retired as Assistant Secretary-General in 1979. He joined the Central Secretariat when it was two years old, and his interview focuses on what one might call the "early years" of the organization, the period before the rapid expansion of ISO which started in the late 1960s.
Properly speaking, ISO came into existence in 1947, the year after the London conference. Delegates had agreed that the constitution must be formally ratified by 15 countries within six months, and Denmark sent the necessary 15 approval on 23rd February.
